The top section is offset the wrong amount on IE6. The thumbnails work as expected, but the top image shown doesn't match the selected thumbnail.

SlideScale currently calculates the path of image thumbnails as well as the detailed images by using the path passed into the "name" parameter. SlideScale should be able to take separate path for both thumbnails and detailed images. When these are present, SlideScale should use them. Otherwise it should fall back to its normal way of calculating paths from one partial path.

For usability, it would help if the left and right arrows had an option to be visible at all times. You mentioned that making them slightly visible was an option. I like that idea.

Right now the behavior is to center the first image at index 0, but I would like to center the image at index 1 in order to balance the layout. Having an arbitrary index to center would be nice. If the index doesn't exist with the images, the default could be to start at 0.

Since this is going to be used for showcasing products that customers would likely want to know more about, it would be nice if there was a way to include links within the gallery. One way that seems to make sense is to make the caption clickable. Perhaps ff a url is passed to an href parameter, slidescale will use it to make the caption a link.

Currently, slidescale assumes that you are going to be using a relative path such as "catalog/my_image.jpg" for the value for "name". When I attempt to use an absolute path such as "http://host.com/my_image.jpg" it is turned into "/http://host.com/my_image.jpg" (note the leading slash). I would expect that slidescale detects when a url begins with "http://" and adjusts the way it builds the path.
